Lifting scheme for the real field wavelet transform has provided a new insight into its practical implementation. This paper shows that a similar scheme can be developed for the binary field wavelet transform. In particular, by using the Euclidean algorithm, the binary filters can be decomposed into a finite sequence of simple lifting steps over the binary field. This provides an alternative me...

A new method for measuring and designing smooth wavelet basis which dispenses with the need for having a large number of zero moments of the wavelet is given. The method is based on minimizing the “discrete finite variation”, and is a measure of the local “roughness” of a sampled version of the scaling function giving rise to “visually smooth” wavelet basis. Smooth wavelet basis are deemed to b...

Starting from any two compactly supported refinable functions in L2(R) with dilation factor d, we show that it is always possible to construct 2d wavelet functions with compact support such that they generate a pair of dual d-wavelet frames in L2(R). Moreover, the number of vanishing moments of each of these wavelet frames is equal to the approximation order of the dual MRA; this is the highest...

Numerical simulation based on finite element method is conducted to predict the location of pitting corrosion in reinforced concrete. Simulation results show that it is feasible to predict corrosion monitoring based on ultrasonic guided wave in reinforced concrete, and wavelet analysis can be used for the extremely weak signal of guided waves due to energy leaking into concrete. The characteris...

In this paper, we present the multilevel adaptive wavelet collocation method for solving non-divergent barotropic vorticity equation over spherical geodesic grid. This method is based on multi-dimensional second generation wavelet over a spherical geodesic grid. The method is more useful in capturing, identifying, and analyzing local structure [1] than any other traditional methods (i.e. finite...
